Exactly.

I absolutely think it was for the viewers' benefit. I find her whole schtick extremely transparent and boring.

I think she showed that she is not a fame whore by the fact that she paid off her mum and dad's mortgage with her book deal and now she wants to get them a caravan. Sorry, but there are lots of celebs who wouldn't do that.
I like Scarlett - she seems to be very friendly and funny and genuinely does want to get on with everyone. Notice how she hasn't actually been in any arguments with anyone? When she had an issue with Martin talking for her, she told him on his own with nobody else around - she doesn't want drama, she just wants to be everybody's mate. I admire that.”
Bit in bold - and there are many, many more who do that and more and don't feel the need to broadcast it. There are also many non-celebs who do the same - and don't feel the need to broadcast it.
